Yesterday, the world's thinnest 17-inch notebook was unveiled by Apple at Macworld, and she is a beauty. With a unibody enclosure, glass trackpad, and a high-res LED backlit widescreen display, the 17-inch Pro looks and feels like a million bucks — sleek yet robust. The best part? The included longest-lasting battery that is said to last up to eight hours on a single charge and can be recharged up to 1000 times.
Apple did build the battery right into the encasing to save on space and weight, but what that means for you and I is that you're stuck with the battery and you won't be able to easily change things like your Ram. Aside from this minor flaw, I'm all about this new $2,799 notebook.
If I ever got one, I'd still attempt to do it myself, the Apple
RAM is such a ripoff.
Sounds nice...but I think that the whole built-in thing might put me off. Plus, I'm not entirely keen on the size and positioning of the keyboard.
